Behavioral Health Crisis Response Grant Program - Funding

HB 1049 requires the Governor to include specific annual funding amounts in Maryland's state budget for the Behavioral Health Crisis Response Grant Program. The bill mandates $3 million for fiscal year 2020, $4 million for 2021, and $5 million annually from 2022 through 2025 and 2027-2029. This funding directly supports local jurisdictions (counties and cities) to establish or expand community-based behavioral health crisis response systems. At least one-third of the funds starting in fiscal year 2023 must be used for competitive grants to create mobile crisis teams. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
